It seems my system locale has been set to US.UTF-8 despite having chosen the UK as my location during the installation of LL.


As a result I can't figure out how to read or write MP3 tags that need an apostrophe properly.



Is it safe to change my System Locale at this time? How would I do it?

This is a couple of links I found that some may find interesting.

I have been using OS now for about a week and so far I am very pleased with it.
Up to 8 months ago I was a Windows 7 user but like many I was getting tired of constantly having to check for viruses and defrag my system and the inevitable system crashes.
Since then I have tried a good number of different Linux OS including Ubuntu, Zorin 9,Mint 17.2 and others I cannot remember.
This Linux Lite must be perhaps the best one so far and similar to Zorin 9 in the way it opperates.
I really liked Linux Mint 17.2 but fancied something a bit lighter on my system.
AS I have said I have only been using it for about a week but it seems like I might keep this one for a while.

Hello,
I'm a new user to Linux Lite 2.6.
My laptop specs as follows:
ASI Model: SP15R-UMA
Intel Core i5-2520M 2.5GHz.
8Gb of RAM
Intel HD 3000 Graphics
Touchpad: Sentelic
Hard drive: Sandisk SSD 250Gb.
My question is, The Sentelic Touchpad shows up as a generic mouse.
There is no tab to configure two finger scroll. Is there a fix for this?
Other than that, everything else works great. Runs real fast, so far I'm happy with the performance, it's faster than M$ Win 10.

Thanks,
Dave

Google Is Ending Chrome support for 32-bit Linux, Ubuntu 12.04 And Debian 7

I understand that since around 2007 most new computers were made in 64-bit architecture.  But I know, from personal experience, there are times when installing the 32-bit version of a Linux distro, on a machine with a 64-bit processor, performed better than the 64-bit version of the same Linux distro on the same machine.  March 2016 is just around the corner.  Wished Google would have waited until the end of the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS lifespan instead, or at least until the end of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

I've been looking for a way to watch amazon movies on Linux for some time and now they have set their player HTML5 which should work as does YouTube. But Amazon tells me I don't have the right browser even though I have Firefox 42 which is in their list of supported browsers.

I was looking at how to fold a fitted sheet and I came across this--how to fold a t-shirt in 5 seconds.

Hi. I can`t configure "sshfs" & "nfs" on LinuxLite 2.6. I configure easy on Xubuntu 14.04.03 & BackBoxLinux 4.4. What is the problem? Help me with manual "step-by-step". Thanks.

Would anyone know how to install hal-lib for playing Hulu movies? So far only Mint has it installed and can be found in their
synoptic package. Would rather have just one O/S instead of two. If you open Hulu on Lite, say on Firefox, you will find the needed Hal but cannot install from there. Chromium or Google does not support Hulu and refers you to Firefox which as I indicated works on Mint and also on Epiphany because hal-lib is already installed. Thanks for any help.

Greets to all!
I'm using some donated Lenovo IdeaCenter boxes for a project on the battleship New Jersey museum-ship. LL 2.6 seems to run just fine on these little boxes, even grabs my wireless network with no sweat!

A radar simulation is being written in Processing 3, and I need to have a joystick to move a cursor on the display.  This is now working on the Win7 development sys, using a SUPER library: Game Control Plus (http://lagers.org.uk/gamecontrol/index.html).

The library 'likes' the Logitech 3D Extreme Pro joystick which is what I'm using.

So - would like some info on how to install or activate the joystick drivers in LL.  Any links or refs to previous posts/sites would be greatly appreciated.
